[Comprehensive Classics] Killing the Classics

Anya sent the Bennet sisters to Meryton Town, and said goodbye to them.She returned home with a bunch of things she had purchased, and she didn't forbid the maid's babbling, so news spread that Miss Jin was squandering her inheritance in order to get out of the pain as soon as possible.

The militia group stationed in this town is only said to be leaving, but has not yet officially left.They were about to move to Bailitun, and this news made many Yunying's unmarried girls quite regretful.Some girls have already begun to think about whether they have relatives or friends in Bailitun.

Of course, Lydia is the member of the militia that is the most reluctant. She is fascinated by those strong young men who compliment her very much, and wants to fully exert her charm on them.But it was not so easy, because she had no relatives in Bailitun.But a turning point came again, and her friend, the wife of Captain Fausto invited her to Bailitun together.Although the two of them had not known each other for a long time, they soon became confidants because of their congenial spirit.

Lydia was overjoyed, eager to tell the story everywhere.Elizabeth was secretly worried, and gave advice to her father, but Mr. Bennet reassured her, thinking that Lydia made a fool of herself once or twice, and suffered a few setbacks, but she was doing her own good.

The sisters of the Bennet family have their own moods. The servant Anya sent to London to inquire about the news has returned home.Mr Darcy and Mr Bingley were in London, but Colonel Fitzwilliam was absent.The possibility of being able to contact Colonel Fitzwilliam was too small, so Anya gave up her thoughts.Anyway, if Mary King can seize the opportunity by herself, it is not impossible to find a good marriage. Why bother with the few men who appeared in the original book?

Time passed quickly, and the militia was about to depart from the local area.Before that, Elizabeth had invited her to dine at Longborn as a thank you for giving them a ride.Although Lydia and Kitty dislike her and even take pleasure in her misfortune, the former is willing to show off his achievements on a "rival in love".

So, she deliberately said loudly: "ah, when I think that starting tomorrow, I will go to Bailitun with the militia, and I will be separated from you for such a long time, I feel sad when I think about it."

Anya smiled slightly, but did not answer.Would Lydia feel bad about that?She's probably just showing off.

Mary said calmly from the side: "If you really feel sad about this, then stay at home."

"If that's the case," cried Kitty, "why don't I go?"

"Well, it's useless to quarrel, Mrs. Forstall invited Lydia," said Mrs. Bennet, looking somber. "How nice it would be if my girls could go there! What do you think, Mr. Bennet?"

Mr. Bennet immediately said: "Then you should give up this wish as soon as possible. I will not agree that all my daughters will go to the officers to show off their heads and make them look ashamed."

Elizabeth was ashamed of her family, but there was nothing she could do.She whispered to Anya: "Miss Jin, please don't mind what they say. Lydia is just too happy."

"I can understand." Anya smiled, but didn't control her voice, "Actually, I'm also very happy about it—it's great to see familiar faces in Bailitun."

"What do you mean?" asked Kitty.

"As you all know, I'm not in good health recently. The doctor suggested that I'd better go to a place with better scenery to recuperate, exercise, and develop my mind. In Bailitun, I can take a sea bath first, which is said to be good for my health." Anya looked at them with very sincere eyes, and said happily.

Lydia's expression became very exciting, and she was about to say something, but Elizabeth was keenly aware of her intentions, and interrupted loudly: "In this case, you must have fun, Miss Jin. "

"I think, I will probably travel across the country in the future." Anya also changed the topic along the way.Anyway, for Lydia, this kind of stimulation is enough.

Jane asked with great interest: "Really? Where will you start from?"

"Maybe it's Brighton, maybe I'll go to London first. The property left to me by my grandfather doesn't allow me to spend it recklessly, so I hope to find a trustworthy person to help me manage the money." Anya replied .

In Eugenie's world, she did not have time to learn much.However, after seeing Mr. Grandet's methods, she also had a new view on financial management.Ms. Jin is not a person who is good at financial management, and she is shy by nature and easily immersed in emotions. If she can't find someone who can spend her life with her, five thousand pounds or even less assets can make a woman who will never marry How long?A hundred pounds a year would probably be more than enough for an ordinary person.But Miss King will definitely spend more than that.Even if it is just based on the average life expectancy of British women, can Miss King survive 30 years with this money?

In any case, more money is always better.With Anya's understanding of human nature, of course she would not miss the opportunity to accumulate wealth.Ms. Jin is decisive in handling things, which makes her feel very appreciated.Anya would be happy to help her with anything she could do.

Jane introduced some famous scenery in London to her, and Mary also told her about the introduction of British scenic spots that she had read in books.Everyone discussed the topic lively, and Anya didn't leave until very late.

Elizabeth came out to see her off, and the two were talking softly.She expressed her worries to Anya, hoping that she would take care of her sister when she had the chance.

Anya showed a helpless expression: "I am very grateful that you have such trust in me, but Lydia seems to be very wary of me."

Elizabeth said: "I'm afraid she hasn't given up on Wickham. I hope she can see this clearly as soon as possible. Miss Jin, although I haven't known you for a long time, I feel that you are very kind. If there is a chance, I would Please keep an eye on Lydia for me. I can't stop her from going to Brighton, but I don't want her to do too much humiliation."

"If there is a chance." Anya smiled slightly, "Anyway, I don't care if I have any conflicts with Lydia. If people know about my going to Bailitun, many people will doubt it. , I am going for Wickham's sake."

"In two days' time we shall be giving a feast at Longbourne for the militia. Wickham will be here then. Will you see him?"

Anya politely refused.Elizabeth hesitated to speak, but did not continue.

Elizabeth suggested that she meet with Wickham. On the one hand, it was out of good intentions and wanted her to show her determination to break with Wickham. On the other hand, she wanted to reassure Lydia that she would not be so defensive towards her.But think about it, Miss King has no responsibility to control Lydia at all, you know, even Mr. Bennet himself treats Lydia's embarrassment indifferently!And like now, refusing to have any contact with Wickham is the real way to let go of that relationship.

Anya didn't know what Elizabeth was thinking.She refused to meet Wickham simply because the time had not come.

On the way back to Meryton, Anya listened to Elizabeth's experience, and a plan slowly emerged in her mind.She didn't want to deal with several people at the same time as she did in the world of the Count of Monte Cristo; and in this world, Wickham was probably the only one who could meet the requirements.If this is the case, she only needs to deal with Wickham alone; if not, she can also take it one by one slowly.

Wickham's character is indeed bad, but he is also cunning enough.It is not very easy to deal with him.However, precisely because of his viciousness and cunning, there are many things that can threaten him.

First it was Brighton, and then London... Anya's eyes flickered, and the corners of her lips raised slightly.Although the plan was simple, it couldn't be more practical when dealing with someone like Wickham.

--------

Anya had already packed her bags and went to Bailitun before the militia officially set off.She had already booked a place to live, and rented a house from the locals, with a few servants around her, and lived a very comfortable life.

Anya has never been a person who treats herself badly. She has planned so much for Miss Jin, so she should be paid some money.Moreover, after her living standard improved and her mood improved, her body also became much stronger.These will become benefits for Miss Jin in the future, why would she not do it?

Within a few days, officers in shining red uniforms arrived at Bailitun.They soon set off a trend in the local area, attending dances and banquets everywhere.As a friend of Mrs. Forstall, Lydia also attends these balls, and thus gets a lot of attention.She was young, beautiful, and coquettish, so she was also very attractive.All in all, such a place where there is no sister to discipline and men everywhere to flatter her is simply the treasure land of her dreams.

Of course, Wickham is the most prominent among them.He's smart, quick-witted, and best at people-pleasing.Not only women, but even men are very happy to associate with him.He soon became as much a man of Brayton as he had been at Meryton.At the same time, his true nature was quickly exposed, he was flirtatious, he was busy among the ladies, and at the same time he went in and out of taverns and gambling shops secretly, and slowly became heavily in debt again.

Thanks to a gossip maid and loyal valet, Anya has all the news inside and out.When the time comes, she will reveal her sharpened knife and formally attack Wickham.

Before that, she had to think about how to get in touch with him.

But...it's not really a problem.Anya pressed the letter Elizabeth had just sent under the book and smiled meaningfully.There is a ready-made candidate right in front of you...Anyway, a silly girl like Lydia does everything for her own good. If you don't use it, it's a waste of resources...
